Stochastic gene expression drives state switching and phenotypic heterogeneity in RNA repair

Bacterial populations often exhibit variability in cellular responses to antibiotics which can affect treatment success and survival outcomes. This heterogeneity suggests that genetically identical cells can occupy different states of susceptibility within the same population. Better understanding of these dynamic responses is essential for determining how cells respond to stress and survive…
